215 Rhetoric and Writing

This is a follow‐up course to ENG 214. It again emphasizes writing as a process that involves prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing. The course focuses on both reading critically and writing well. In each unit, students will be introduced to a variety of essays or excerpts from the works of professional writers. These will include autobiography, reflection, explanation, speculation about cause and effect, proposal to solve a problem, and argument for or against a position.
